"Super Awesome - highlight of our trip!"
Brilliant surf lesson! So glad we signed up!
My husband and I went out with John for a lesson. He is super friendly and positive. Made us feel comfortable from the beginning. It was great to be away from the crowds with a local professional- very knowledgeable about the area. We both stood up on the first wave and felt very safe in the water! Have a go- you won’t look back!!! "The best experience we've had in Hawaii!"
If you’re considering surfing lessons this is the place to go! The teenagers in our group have had some experience surfing and didn’t feel like they necessarily needed lessons.... now they are begging to go out and surf with Rick and Kainoa again!!
Prior to booking our lesson we had tried just renting boards on our own on Waikiki but it was so packed with people that it was not enjoyable or safe. It was so much nicer going out with experienced surfers who know the water. They even provided rash guards and water boots to protect against getting scrapped up on the reefs. Booking the lessons was worth every single penny we spent and the two hours went by way too fast! The instructors were incredibly patient and helpful and catered the lessons based on each member of our groups needs and prior experience. Icing on the surfing cake was lots of photos of every single person in our group catching a wave. Huge thank you to Rick and Kainoa for an absolutely perfect afternoon in the ocean. |
"Amazing experience! Highly recommend!"
This was probably the highlight of our trip to Honolulu.
My brother and I booked a semi-private class and both of us managed to catch our own waves by the end of the lesson. Rick and John (our instructor for the day) were very nice and helpful. You can see that they love to share their passion with people. They make you feel comfortable right away which allows you to build confidence before hitting the waves. The 2 hours lesson can get quite tiresome as paddling against the waves will get you sore the next day (even for athletic people). The lesson happens at Ala Moana beach which is less crowded than Waikiki and that is for the best. At the end of the lesson, Rick gave us a good location to rent our own surfboards for reasonable prices. Highly recommend! "Real deal and great with children"
Highly recommended- we picked Polu Lani based on other TripAdvisor reviews and were not disappointed- 5 star.
We had 10 yo boy and 8 yo girl - rick had them both up literally first wave. We were at ease from the moment we met him. We watched other groups “being taught” on Waikiki in the days after our lesson (picture 8-10 people of different capabilities waiting for “their go”) and are so grateful we went on what was effectively a private group at an uncrowded beach literally 5min outside of Waikiki. Even water and snacks for post surf nibble. My son now wants a surfboard... Even Rick’s restaurant/eatery suggestions were first class. Book with him! |
